Poster Comment: I almost never go to movies but I may see this one. In the novel all of Heinlein's troopers wore armored suits, which they didn't have in the original movie. It does look like they have them in this one.

Oh, great. More anti-human militarist schlock. Twenny bucks a pop. Knock yerself out. Sucker. The voiceover was text from the book, too. Good book. Crappy first flick. Except for Outpost Whiskey. Our white sons are sent to war against non-whites who have done us no harm, and this is not called crime; Michael Moorcock fan?
Our white sons are sent to war against non-whites who have done us no harm, and this is not called crime; The first movie was a satire. For all I know perhaps this one is, too. Besides, it's just a movie. It's not like I take them seriously. Most of them are mental bubble gum. I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
The most boring writer ever. I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
I agree. I get sucked into this kind of stuff from time to time when the kids come over. I am continually amazed at the level of technical perfection involved in the the effects. I would like to see the first full on sci-fi film done in micro-gravity in orbit. They had the original Starship Troopers then a few years later they had a sequel (where the ending was something about worshiping the giant bugs as gods, real pathetic plot). So this is the third movie in the franchise.
Wait a minute. I know that flick. This is where the Earth is being bombarded by another planet in another solar system. And the other planet is inhabited by BUGS! That's right, BUGS! It's really far-fetched if you ask me. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
People in the theater were screaming, "Bugs!!! Eat Doogie Houser!!!" I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
Dang! I've liked em all even if I have yet to see a true adaptation of Heinleins' novel to screen. About this franchise, the original 1997 movie was considered a disappointment by fans of the novel, and by movie audiences generally, who seemed to think that CGI "bugs" were more real and capable of better emoting than star Casper Van Dien. This was followed by two straight-to-video stinkers that made the first movie look good .... but only by comparison. Correcting an earlier message, this would be the FOURTH Starship Troopers movie. There was the original disappointment, then a straight-to-DVD called ST: Marauder (none of the original characters, something about "bugs" infesting and controlling individual soldiers like a zillion similar sci-fi movies), then another stinker with Casper Van Dien returning to his mistake, ST: Hero of the Federation (about how the Supreme Commander of Earth forces is somehow mentally controlled by the brain bug captured in movie #1). So this is #4. This one, Invasion, has as its director and its screenwriter two guys who only did stuff for the small screen, including kiddie cartoons and computer games. And they're still in their element here because no genuine actors appear or would appear in this turkey -- it's all CGI animation, the people, the monsters, the everything. Just like a computer game, only duller. This was clever once, but after the 50th production the novelty wears thin. Capser Van Dien is one of the producers -- he evidently chained himself to this anvil the way Michael York did with the MEGEDDO films or Tim Thomerson with the TRANCER franchise (this last started well). On top of that, I am not sure, but I think this is slated for release AS A VIDEO not as a theatrical movie.
I've never seen a Michael Ironside movie I didn't like, and a little Basil Poledouris goes a long way.
Our white sons are sent to war against non-whites who have done us no harm, and this is not called crime; Here's a movie that SHOULD be made: Our white sons are sent to war against non-whites who have done us no harm, and this is not called crime; FUck you trancers did 6 movies in time when busting out multiple squeals wasn't done Jack Deth fucking Owns!

Heavy Metal 2000 wasn't very good. He is a major voice in the movie. Vote absentee. It is a paper ballot Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war.

at home, non-white criminals prey upon our wives and daughters and this is not called war.

If you believe in small government, then you shouldn't be in the White House.
